Lyrics

[00:40.90] Daddy's gone away
[00:42.23] And no one can tell me why
[00:45.53]
[00:48.27] Mama's been so sad
[00:52.02] Since Daddy learned to fly
[00:54.26]
[00:55.82] Everybody brought food
[00:57.65]
[00:58.38] And everybody cried
[01:00.50]
[01:03.81] Nothing's been too good
[01:05.93]
[01:07.37] Since Daddy learned to fly
[01:09.64]
[01:26.95] Fun, we used to have
[01:28.26] And the way we used to laugh
[01:31.20]
[01:34.44] It's all gone away
[01:35.81] Since they cut my world in half
[01:39.50]
[01:41.70] Sometimes I think
[01:42.93] I see him smile from the sky
[01:46.87]
[01:49.62] But he never stops to visit
[01:51.62] Since Daddy learned to fly
[01:55.55]
[02:13.11] Everyone tries so hard
[02:15.92] To ease my troubled mind
[02:18.42]
[02:20.73] Guess, he's doing better
[02:22.10] Than the ones he left behind
[02:26.09]
[02:28.36] They tell me I'm not old enough
[02:31.05] To know the reasons why
[02:33.82]
[02:36.03] Clouds reached down from heaven
[02:38.84] Daddy learned to fly, learned to fly
[02:52.37]
[02:59.02] They tell me that in time
[03:00.45] Everything will be okay
[03:03.50]
[03:06.74] Life goes back to normal
[03:08.30] Like before you flew away
[03:11.30]
[03:13.92] They tell me you can see me
[03:15.86] So I'm trying not to cry
[03:18.85]
[03:21.53] But sometimes I can't help it
[03:23.92] Since Daddy learned to fly
[03:28.94]
[03:36.60] Learned to fly
[03:37.97]
[03:44.26] Learned to fly
